Week 1 of Insanity

Week 1 of Insanity



So I have to say I was a bit afraid of starting Insanity but can say I really enjoyed my first week.  I strongly suggest not starting out with this workout if you have not workout in a long time.  I can see how it would not be fun at all and just plan overwhelming.  It reminds me of cross county in high school if I would of done track.  I enjoy all the jumping and kicks, and felt the workout all week.  First day is the fit test, I love that idea and you do those every 2 weeks to track your progress.  Progress is not just a number on the scale, progress is measured in a lot of different ways when working out. 

I like that most of the workouts time range go from 25 minutes to 40 minutes.  I'm burning around 350-450 calories a day.  So for this week this is what my meal plan looks like.  As I lose more weight I'm constantly changing what I eat and at what point in the day I eat it.  I still follow eating 5-6 small meals a day, with a protein and complex carb at every meal, watching my portions size using the size of my fist.  Of course drinking shakeology daily, it's key to get the best nutrition possible for the day.  Shakeology offers that and with eating clean I love the fact that shaekology is all natural I'm a breast feeding mom and find that so important.  Staying healthy and getting in shape should always include exercise and nutrition.  I'm going to keep voicing my concerns when I see these  "quick fixes".

Today is Sunday my day of rest from working out.  I woke up with seasonal allergies and all plugged up but for real I wanted to head to the basement to do Insanity.  I know I'm only a week in but I can stay this workout is addicting and the fact that you do the fit test every 2 weeks to track you progress is awesome I love filling in the numbers.  Can't wait to see my end results!! 



Of course this week I drank my daily dose of shakeology, this is not a weight loss drink.  But in drinking it, it does really help in weight loss in the sense that when your body is given the proper nutrition your craving will be kept at bay.  Also with the 70 supper foods packed into one meal your going to feel full longer. 

I know for many folks they bought Insanity and have it sitting at home on a shelf.  You may of did a week or two of it but never finished the program.  Lets do it different this time and add nutrition and support.  Ask when my next challenge group starts.
